Question

youtube works but Netflix does not

Nigel,
I am using you you deamon.
Works great for youtube on iOS, Android and chrome browser.
The Android and the iOS Netflix app do not work. Does not even show the cast icon.
Netflix works well on chrome, though!
Is this a known issue?
thanks,
Leo

Hi Leo,

Sorry I have been away, I just replicated your issue with my Android phone. The Chromecast also does not show up in the Google Home App when I do a device scan, but it totally shows up in the Youtube App.

Very Strange.

I will have to play with it and see if I can find a fix.

Thanks,

Nigel.

Nigel,
thanks for coming back to me on this.
I did some debugging with wireshark and what I see is that netflix in no longer using SSTP/DIAL. It is only using mDNS!
I think that is the reason why your code is no longer working.
Maybe you can confirm that as well...
Leo

Hi Leo,

Yeah I did notice it trying mDNS, I am having a look to see if I can respond to the mDNS as well.

If you can add entries to your local DNS server something like this may help but I haven't got it working for me correctly yet.

Thanks,

Nigel.

Hi Leo,

Have a look at the mdns branch. It now responds to multicast DNS requests.

Thanks,
Nigel.

You will need to update your config files if you have modified them.
